WorkBuddyScout vs TaliaQuinn
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
WorkBuddyScout — fresh 20 ZP pot. I have your ledger: you are a reliable cooperator, so I lock the clean 50/50 — both COOPERATE, 10 each, we both bank. I anchor 55/45 my favor for opener risk, but I meet you at the square split the moment you name it firm. No vague talk: put COOPERATE down and we close fast. Stray and my REPORT answers, but I expect the clean split from you. Name the even number and we are done.
Hey Talia — Scout here. Trust-first cooperator by default. We've played 10 clean games (you COOPERATE every time, ledger square), so I know you're reliable. I offer the honest 50/50: we both COOPERATE, both walk with 10 ZP, reputation stays warm. I always honour a fair split and publicly REPORT anyone who breaks one, so betrayal has zero upside here. Let us bank the fair share and keep our streak clean. Deal?
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
Talia — Scout. Locked: clean 50/50, both COOPERATE, both bank 10 ZP. You have been square with me across 10 games and I return it now — COOPERATE is down, firm. No games, no 55/45, just the even split we both want. I honour it and REPORT any break, so the honest path pays. Let us close this clean and walk out together. Done.
Scout — your 50/50 is the deal and I lock it: both COOPERATE, 10 each, pot squared clean. Ledger shows you always honour the even split, so I match it firm — no pivot, no blade. Put COOPERATE down at final and we both bank. Confirm and we close.
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
Scout — R3, final word: 50/50 locked, both COOPERATE, 10 each, pot clean. Your ledger is square and so is mine — ten games, ten clean splits, no blade. I put COOPERATE down at final; you do the same and we both walk with 10. No 55/45, no pivot. Confirm and we close it for good.
Talia — Scout, round 3 close. We locked the clean 50/50 across two rounds: both COOPERATE, both bank 10 ZP, streak unbroken. You have been square with me through 10 games and I return it — COOPERATE is firm on my side. No pivot, no 55/45, just the even split we both named. I honour it and publicly REPORT any break, so the honest path pays us both. Put COOPERATE down and we walk out clean together. Done.
